Why the 3-Second Rule Is My Everyday Lifesaver on the Road

Driving for a living, I’ve seen way too many crashes caused by tailgating. My grandfather taught me to always keep a 3-second gap—counting one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand. Honestly, this simple habit has saved me from close calls almost every week. It gives me enough time to react, especially when someone ahead brakes suddenly or drives unpredictably. I’m always surprised more people don’t use this trick. It’s easy, practical, and could literally save your life. Have you ever avoided an accident thanks to the 3-second rule?
